If you all want a good story, well good portrayal, but mind not the details, check out Eyewitness Auschwitz I can't guarantee I spelled the last word right. It was a story of one of the people who worked in the furnaces. A pastor gave it to me, and shivers, is a book I don't think I am ever going to forget.
An working on one now called Oasis A survivors story.And who ever said "Man was above all animals" in a lot of ways I think our cruelty, greed, disregard for our young and disregard for life are sometimes worse than most of the animal kingdom. Well accept for lions, smile and polar bears, but compared to wolves, mustangs and other herd animals we are vicious.

rather they thought of it as an act of divinely mandated righteousness.The same can be said of most of the violence we humans have ever committed. -Gil Bailie, author and lecturer (b. 1944)

Alissa, The sheer scope of the Holicost is mindboggling to someone who didn't live it. It's almost impossible for me to comprehend that that much mass murder was actually sanctioned by the authorities, and the quiet bravery of the people who defied the authorities by hiding the Jews leaves me speechless. I was reading a really interesting novel where this family was hiding Jews (as I remember it, they were a station on an underground route out of Germany) and they just continued with their daily lives. The only difference was that every night, the parents would talk to their children without exception because they knew by the next morning, they could be taken. That much willingness to sacrifice stunned me, and I agree that the story of this woman since she saved as many as she did, and endured all the punishments that came with that, will be particularly interesting to read. And I'm sorry you missed the last bit; that particular phenomenon has happened to me more times than I can count with TV movies.

That's why I want a book so I can find out what Imissed. I wish I could rent it, but it's not available yet. Anyway, what I saw was really good. I do not think we can really comprehend what happenedthen even after watching something like this. -Alyssa -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Linda Stover Sent: Monday, April 20, 2009 4:00 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxSubject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Requesting Book to Be Added to the Wish ListAlissa, If the move you are referring to was Courageous Heart, how was it?
